Crud towns in Ireland (1 Viewer)

[plug]

We went to a pub("the highest pub in ireland") a few years ago in West Cork/Kerry border.The family that ran it were known locally as 'the tops' and after we woke a couple of them up and asked them for service, they seemed genuinely shocked that we wanted pints instead of bottles...sorta got the picture when they wiped the dust off the taps and things gained a special clarity when we tasted 'em.Ah but they were true and dascent people all the same

that's just outside kilgarvan innit? jackie healy rae's hometown! factoid!

this is interesting... there's been this "highest pub in ireland" debate between that pub and johnnie fox's for a long time now. couldn't somebody just get an altimeter and sort it out! more importantly, who cares!

that cow looks worryingly like it's, in the parlance of country folk, 'presenting'.

this is kilgarvan's logo. hmm...

there's a suspiciously positioned serif on that 'R' as well.

It may be a statistical anomaly, but the spate of suicides in Midleton means that it now has a rate equivalent to 80 per 100,000, double that of Lithuania, currently the worst country in the world for suicide. “The biggest puzzle is why? Why here in Midleton?” says Pat Buckley.

other notable shitholes

fermoy heart
mallow
ennis
charleville, anywhere between cork and limrick actually
anywhere in the midlands

 

[Hector Grey]

i'd like to nominate cork. all of it. the entire county.

and trim.

 

[krystal]

the midlands are shit, the whole centre of the country needs to be plucked out like a boil and fucked off towards the azores. Leaving us with a nice scnenic doughnut which is not full of gross bungalows thrown up by planning-law-shy farmers.

hmmm
"To hell or to...the mid-atlantic"
doesn't have the same ring to it as Mr Cromwell's version, but a solid turn of phrase, nonetheless.

Why?


(I like actually like the fact that it has four supermacs's's's. Since Wheel-a-bin got sold off it's the only example of enterprise in the town)

I really like the vibe in it. Possibly nostalgia. It's changed a lot since I was going there regularly as a kid but I went down last week and it was still nice. Also I saw loads of eastern yurpeens hanging around with the locals. Multiculturalism!

Did you go out? Hang out waiting for a taxi etc?


Familiarity breeds contempt or something I spose.

Yeah, maybe the wrong choice of words. Not saying that all settled travellers are scum, just that there was a lot of complete and utter psycho settled travellers down there which, in my experience, like it or not, tend to be more psycho than yer average scum, i.e. jumping on people's heads in the middle of the street, attacking people with hatchets, taking chainsaws to pubs when they turn them away and so forth.
